I am sorry for the lack of photos, I have finally dug my camera out of its hiding spot after the move, so hopefully more quality photos comes soon. Wait, this post is not about photos, lets look at the title again! Yes, that is right I finally have received some Shincha, and I feel like I am rolling in it, I have 240 grams of it split among 12 different samples thanks to a tasting from Tea Chat organized by the Moderator Chip. In another tasting I placed an order for 200 more grams of Shincha, which I am unsure when it will be shipped out, but it comes from a source I know to be of top notch quality.
Since I got the shincha I have been enjoying it immensely, I do not know if it was due to the rationing of Japanese greens I have had lately, going from five sessions a week, to one maybe two. Heck today alone I brewed two top notch Shinchas. Thes du Japon which is quickly climbing my list of preferred Japanese tea vendors. The other one is a perennial classic, that this is honestly the first year I did not order a bag of Yutaka Midori from O-Cha in the Shincha Season.
I honestly do not normally hear reports like this, but based on my first 3 teas of this Shincha season, I think this might be a very good year for quite a few Japanese Senchas, maybe Japanese Tea's all around.
Back to talking about Photos... I really can not wait to dig up my camera and snap some shots. I have a brand new tea cup and teapot that are just begging to be shown off in something better than a cell phone snap. Not to mention I think the lighting in my new place is worlds better than the lighting in the one room cave I used to live in.
